Pretty girls in girl dresses
kissing
and spitting
on the bubbling sidewalk
just pretty rainbows

Steam and sunset sunsetting
smoke cinnamon ice cream truck
rolling on by with a tune almost to say
this is the end but
this is also
the beginning of your mad desolate blues—journey
into the desert of people
stop signs
subway cars
fedora-capped cats
too much
to get
too loose
